Thanks for sharing, everyone. If ya'll do it again next year, maybe I can join the fun (probably only if I run St. George again but not Tucson).

I would love to name who all I got to meet and hang out with, but I know I'll forget someone and then I'll feel bad! I do know that I missed out on meeting a handful of RA'ers that I wanted to meet though! Maybe next time. Right mgerwn (ROAD TRIP!!!)?

ABsoLUTEly !!

We need to lay out a route from the Northeast that passes by as many RA Monkey runners' towns, and pick them up on the way. Maybe rent a big Relay van, one of those 15 passenger jobs, and start the party before we even get to Nashville.

Oh, this is an EXCELLENT shot of Wildchild watching Holly come in to the finish:

Two things about this picture:

1. I don't think Holly even saw me. I was yelling her name, but someone else had noticed her coming, and said "Hey, Holly's coming in!" So there were quite a few people yelling her name. You can see she was focused straight ahead at the timing mat.

2. I really should tie a jacket around my waist to make my butt look bigger. It doesn't even look like I HAVE a butt in this picture!

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
